Zhao Muyun looked at the two men who were still furious. "Calm down your subordinates. We will try to rescue your families. Right now, we need your help."
"You can select an absolutely reliable old subordinate, disguise them as a deserter or messenger, and try to sneak into the Langyu camp, or contact the generals in the army who are close to Tuoba Xiong and dissatisfied with Han Chang..."
Zhao Muyun's voice was low and clear, and he laid out targeted strategies one after another.
Not only does he have to take advantage of the enemy's contradictions, he also has to take the initiative to expand these contradictions. Perhaps he will even have a chance to cause this powerful reinforcement to fall into chaos without a fight!
Han Chang's arrival brought subtle changes to the Langyu Camp.
The first dispute to break out was over food and fodder.
Han Chang's 20,000 "elite" troops consumed an astonishing amount of food and fodder. In just a few days, they broke through the bottom line of food reserves that Tuoba Xiong had painstakingly maintained.
The generals under Tuoba Xiong looked at the increasingly thin porridge in their soldiers' bowls, and compared it with the still relatively sufficient supplies for Han Chang's soldiers, and their dissatisfaction spread like wildfire.
"Your Majesty! If this continues, our brothers will starve to death without Zhao Muyun even having to fight!"
A tribal chief could not contain himself and spoke out angrily at the military meeting.
"General Han's soldiers have just arrived. How can they be treated the same as ours who have been fighting hard? The distribution of food and fodder must be renegotiated!" another captain echoed.
Han Chang, sitting high up in the throne, looked gloomy upon hearing this. He sneered, "What? I'm here with the Privy Councilor's orders, leading elite troops to assist us. Don't you think I can even get enough to eat? General Tuoba, is this how you treat guests?"
"Or are these arrogant and powerful generals under your command no longer taking the Privy Councilor seriously?"
He directly elevated the conflict to a question of attitude towards Han Yanshou, which made Tuoba Xiong's face turn pale.
Finally, under Tuoba Xiong's forced suppression, the dispute was barely settled, but the rift was irreparable.
Then, bad news about family members came one after another.
Han Chang's order to arrest Cao and Liu's relatives was quickly executed.
In several states south of Youzhou, members of the Cao and Liu clans and the families of related generals were thrown into prison, their property was confiscated, and even several distantly related clansmen were beheaded in public, with their heads sent to the border as a warning to others.
